ISBN: 9781621009306 出版年：2012 页码：137 Gregory F Smith Timothy D Ross Nova Science

The multilateral development banks (MDBs) include the World Bank and four smaller regional development banks: the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Asian Development Bank (AsDB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The United States is a member of each of the MDBs. This book analyzes how the United States establishes policies towards the multilateral development banks (MDBs) and identifies ways by which Congress can shape U.S. policy and influence the activities of the banks themselves.
